For my son in college, since the built-in WiFi adapter in his laptop is flaking out and I can't effectively troubleshoot it from home. ::)
 
My Keurig stopped working, so I decided to get all coffee-snobbish, instead, and got this pot to use with a pour-over filter:

POUR OVER Coffee Kettle 1L - Stop Burning Your Beans - THERMOMETER Built-in by Coffee Gator - For Perfect Hand Drip Coffee



Also have some coffee beans on order:

Kicking Horse Coffee, Whole Bean, Decaf, Swiss Water Process, 10 Ounce



The link-maker here won't let me make a forum link to the pour-over filter (apparently because it's out of stock now?), so I'll just post a page link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CRB75RU

A new iron to replace my beloved iron which has had some issues lately. I probably wouldn't have replaced it yet as it's been behaving but I got a gift card, yay! (Yes, a new iron is exciting for a quilter!)

I have that same iron, Betsy! I don't even begin to fit into your class of quilters, but it works great with pressing those 1/4" seams!

This looks interesting. I use a water kettle with temp settings and a Aeropress

So I pour my 185 degree water over fresh ground beans. After many years of using a hand crank Zasssenhaus I finally got enough shopping points to get a electric bean grinder. I wanted a burr so I got this recently on Amazon.


I have the red one and I love it. Prices change almost daily on those things depending on the color. And for $7 I got a Asurion 3 year plan on it. ;D

I have a old Tassimo that I rarely use anymore because the coffee this way is so much better.
 
They even make a manual press for kcups now. There is a wide range of options, but this one was available as a lightening deal recently and I ordered it for DD thinking it might be good for their frequent camping trips. Or it may turn out to be the white elephant gift of the season...

Ok, that is kind of neat. The things they come up with. I think if you drink coffee and go camping, it would be neat. The aeropress works too, but for that you have to bring ground coffee. So ground coffee or kpods. I don't go camping so I wouldn't know what one likes using there. :p
My name is not Claire Fraser, I will not sleep under the stars. ;D.

And I just ordered some of these

Just got back for a deep teeth cleaning and it hurts like a violin string. Ouch. Like all my nerves are checking in. Almost out of what I have in the house and cold front coming, I don't want to go out again today.

Well...I ordered this but it's been delayed twice. :(. Don't think it's going to come....

I have an older version and love it very much. Glad there are other fans out there. And yes, great for the 1/4 inch seams!!!

We got a Presto MyJo several months ago when our Keurig Mini stopped working. We don't use K-cups regularly but we're pretty happy with it as an inexpensive way to use them on occasion. I never thought of taking it camping... I like that idea!

 
Just got a fantastic bargain on these cups that fit a Keurig. For the next 3 hours they are an active lightening deal at $17.97 for 48 cups, but when you go to check out, there is another 30% coupon to "clip" taking the cost of a box of 48 dark roast cups down to $9.91. Wow!

 
I ordered a mesh colander/strainer for the better half. Should make it easier to strain the crockpot when we make soups and stock.
 
Thank goodness for 2-day shipping... ::)
